About the Foundation

The charitable underpinnings of University Medical Center at Princeton began in 1919 with the donation of this modest farmhouse at 253 Witherspoon Street as the first Princeton Hospital by Princeton philanthropist Moses Taylor Pyne. Eight decades later, charitable support remains the most important source of funding for clinical equipment and new facilities.

Princeton HealthCare System Foundation was established in 1978 to support the advancement of University Medical Center at Princeton.

What We Do

Princeton HealthCare System Foundation was established in 1978 to support the advancement of University Medical Center at Princeton. Charitable gifts are applied to the most pressing needs for clinical equipment and new clinical facilities at University Medical Center at Princeton and the other operating units of Princeton HealthCare System. Gifts are not used to underwrite operating expenses (salaries and supplies). In recent years, gifts to the Foundation have underwritten the complete renovation of the Maternal-Child Health Program Unit; the addition of a new Monitoring Unit; the establishment of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory; new imaging and computing equipment for the Radiology Department; new mammography machines, a stereotactic biopsy unit and ultrasound equipment for women's health; and most recently, the renovation and expansion of the Emergency Department at University Medical Center at Princeton.
